Overjoyed, Sharon kissed him on his cheek. “Thank you, Daddy.”
Ruby could not help but praise her out loud. “This little girl is so bright and adorable. Little girl, what’s your name?”
Sharon replied obediently, “Madam, my name is Sharon Callum.”
Ruby smiled at her pleasantly and patted her head, “You’re such a polite little girl, Sharon. Oh yes, Sharon, there are two fathers in this picture. Can you explain why to me?”
The sight of the picture made Sharon’s eyes light up. “Daddy, this is my gift for you. Is it nice?”
Zeke nodded, “Yes, you drew it. Of course, it looks good.”
Sharon then said, “Madam, this Dad in this picture is my biological Dad. However, he is ill and is hospitalized, so he can’t take care of me. Therefore, I live with my godfather. Daddy is great to me. Not only does he buy me new clothes, but he also buys me toys as well. It’s fantastic that I have two fathers.”
Ruby smiled.
Turns out, not only was Zeke not involved in some messy romantic affair, but he was also so caring and honorable that he was helping his friend care for his daughter.
She had grossly underestimated his character.
Ruby said, “Zeke, are you free today? Do drop by my place for a visit. We can also quickly decide on your wedding date with Summer in order to prevent other issues from cropping up.”
She looked so eager as if she could hardly wait for her daughter to marry Zeke there and then.
Summer looked at Zeke expectantly as well.
She knew Zeke already had Lacey, but they were not married to each other yet anyway.
After this incident, she felt that she was deeper in love with him than ever before.
However, Zeke shook his head and said, “Apologies, but I am not available today. I need to teach Ken and his gang a lesson to prevent them from committing eviller.”
Both Summer and Ruby were visibly disappointed.
Ruby then said, “Zeke, since you are busy, you better go and handle your work. You can drop by my place anytime you are free.”
Zeke nodded. “All right, let’s leave it at that.”
Ruby and Summer then left reluctantly.
Zeke carried Sharon and stood before Ken and the rest of his gang.
Ken and his men were still slapping themselves. When they saw Zeke walk over to them, their slaps became even louder.
Zeke said coldly, “Stop.”
Ken immediately stopped. He was trembling, and his back was completely wet with cold perspiration.
Zeke now called the shot to their lives and death!
To them, Zeke was just like Hades, someone who could hand them a death sentence!
Zeke then said, “I don’t care what you were like in the past, but now that you are following me, I will never allow you to do such cruel things just to earn such illicit cash.”
Ken immediately replied, “Mr. Williams, I take full responsibility for this matter. I forced them to come with me, so it has nothing to do with them. If you see a need to punish, you can punish me alone.”
The group of men also tried to plead on Ken’s behalf. “Mr. Williams, we never used to earn this kind of illicit money. Ken’s mother has been ill and needs to be hospitalized. She needs a large sum of money to pay off her medical fees urgently. We were then forced to help Humpty. However, we have already committed the mistake, so we will not complain no matter what punishment you give us.”
Zeke frowned. “How much money does she need?”
Ken said, “Three hundred thousand.”
Zeke asked incredulously, “There are so many of you, yet you can’t even get three hundred thousand together?”
